Top 20 discussion

Just one thought from last night (9/2)... can they bring Elite back to kick the bejeezus out of the first five acts? Hard to believe they had this cr@p in the Top 40. The Texas gals were painful to watch, and wazzerface drag queen opera singer was painful to hear.

Thanks for letting me know that I don't have to feel sad for the baton twirler!

Yeah, the talent is pretty slim this year, and I think about who they sent home and who we are forced to watch right now.

Right now, I'm for Eli, either of the two young pretty blond girls, queen Emily, Donald Braswell, the baton twirler, and the rocker violinists. I'm glad the judges keep asking if the performances are something an audience would pay $100 for an hour to see. That puts it into context for me - and on those grounds....I think I could see Vegas acts for the baton twirler and Queen Emily. I'd enjoy seeing the others but not for $100 and perhaps not for a whole hour.

Re: Top 20 discussion

I was really impressed with the baton twirler. He was the best I've ever seen-he really "upped" his act and would really fit in w/Vegas.

I have been underwhelmed with the acts this year. It seems that they are stressing the "back story" over substance this year. I think it was right that the 2nd grade teacher didn't go on, altho' I thought he was better than the zoo whatevers. We'll see. And what's with Sharon telling (only) a few of the contestnats not to talk back?! I could see it if they were cursing or being really rude, but that's their only chance to stick up for themselves.
